The friendship 729 focus I rubber is a fantastic attacking and offensive rubber for its price. Being only around 20 dollars, it performs near the standards of 50 $ rubber. This is a speed glue rubber though, so that kind of sucks, though it is still good.

Anyways, the speed is actually not that great. This rubber is more of a consistent, spinny looping rubber rather than a speed demon fatality rubber. The throw angle is relatively high, the top sheet is rather tacky, good for spin, and there is pretty good control. Thus, it is really good for looping underspin shots, and good overall for making consistent loops, particularly at mid distance looping.
